in bone and blood (plasma)
what is the 3 types of muscle tissue
1. cardiac
2. skeletal
3. smooth
what is the function of epithelial tissue
protection, lining
what is the function of nervous tissue
neurons- transmitters
neurogliat- support
anatomy of the long bone
longer than it is wide
diaphysis = shaft
epiphses = bone ends

simple- break w/o soft tissue damage
compund- breaks through tissue (always complete)
spiral- twisting motion
greenstick- partial break
how does a fracture heal
1. hemotoma forms b/c blood vessles get ruptured (bruise)

what is muscle fatigue
inability to maintain contraction. build up of lactic acid
what is oxygen debt
amount of oxygen ecessary to break down lactic acid
where is the musicl origin and insertion
insertion is the more fixed point of attachment
insertion is the more moveable point of attachment muscle action pulls insertion toward the origin
what are the 7 ways that muscles are named
1. direction
2. location
3. size
4. number or origins
5. shape
6. origin and insertion location
7. action
what are the 3types of muscle tissue and where are they located
*cardiac- striated, uninucleate, involuntary
*skeletal- attached to bone/skin, long fibers, multinucleate, striated, voluntary
*smooth- walls of hollow visceral organs, uninucleate, unstriated, involuntary
how does a muscle contract
AChE removes ACh from the muscle fiber receptors --> relaxation
what is a synapse
region where one axon ending of one neuron meets, but does not touch a dendrite of another neuron
what is a neurotransmitter
chemical messenger
what is a reflex and reflex arc
reflex- automatic, involuntary response to change inside or outside the body
reflex arc- consisting of sensory neuron, interneuron and motor neuron
what is the function of the cns and pns
cns- the integrating and command center of the nervous system
pns- communication lines linking all parts of the body to the cns
what is the relationship between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system
they bring about opposite effects on the activity of the same organs. what one thing stimulates the other inhibits
